The centerpiece of the club was its nearly 5000 square feet dance floor surmounted by an enormous dome measuring 76' x 38'. An ingenious lighting system consisting of 1500 fixtures was transported on a large hydraulic lift in the center of the floor, which could be raised or lowered to create ever-changing projections and patterns of light. A unique feature of the lighting system was a projector which could fill the dome with twinkling stars creating an ethereal feeling of being suspended in the heavens. A mirrored ball would drop from the dome and cast a shower of reflected, crystallized light throughout. This spectacle, combined with hundreds of speakers and innovative sound technology, made the Saint experience "celestial".

The progression of doorways, passages, stairs, balconies and overlooks taking you from space to space in the Saint, helped make one's final emergence on the sweeping dance floor beneath a soaring dome a breathtaking moment. .

In addition to the main floor, the Saint complex included a balcony area suspended above the dance floor, just below the dome, providing a spot of "tranquility" with sensational views of the floor below and the great dome above... The main bar was reached via corridors beyond the lobby. A staircase in the back rose to a landing from which one could perch and view the happenings in the bar... beyond lay the back bar with exposed structural elements giving the observer a glimpse of what was originally part of the previous site occupant, the Fillmore East.

The club closed its doors on May 2, 1988, following a 48 hour non-stop farewell party. For those who attended this event, no words are necessary. A memorable moment came with DJ Robbie Leslie spinning "Hold on to my Love" as a great balloon descended from the dome into his outstretched hands..An emotional and moving requiem was later held to close the marathon party in acknowledgment of the glories of the Saint experience.

For many The Saint exemplified the very best attributes of camaraderie and sheer pleasure. The Saint became a focal point in which one could enjoy a spirit of "community". This, above all else, is what made, and continues to make, the Saint special and meaningful. The Saint remain alive in the hearts and minds of those whose lives were indelibly touched by the magic...
